What is the Cloudflare Tunnel MCP Server?
Connect your Cloudflare account to any AI agent to take full control of your Zero Trust connectivity and private network routing through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Tunnel Management — List all tunnels in your account, filter by status (healthy, degraded, down), and fetch detailed metadata for specific tunnels.
- Remote Configuration — Retrieve and update ingress rules and origin settings for remotely-managed tunnels without touching the CLI.
- Network Routing — Manage private network routes (CIDR) and IP-based routing to connect your internal resources securely.
- Connection Monitoring — Inspect active connectors, list tunnel connections, and clean up stale sessions to ensure high availability.
- Lifecycle Actions — Create new tunnels, update secrets, or delete decommissioned tunnels directly from your workspace.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Cloudflare API Token (with Cloudflare Tunnel permissions)

Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — quickly check tunnel health and update ingress rules during deployments without leaving the terminal or IDE.
- Security Teams — audit active tunnels and network routes to ensure compliance with Zero Trust policies.
- System Administrators — automate the cleanup of stale connections and monitor the status of remote connectors across multiple accounts.

Frequently asked questions
Can I update the ingress rules for a remotely managed tunnel?
Yes. Use the put_configuration tool to update the ingress rules and origin request settings for any tunnel that is configured for remote management.
How do I check if my tunnels are currently online?
You can use list_tunnels with the status parameter set to 'healthy' to see active tunnels, or use get_tunnel with a specific ID to see its current operational state.
Can I manage private network routes through this integration?
Yes. The server includes tools like list_routes, create_route, and delete_route to manage your Cloudflare Tunnel network routing (WARP-to-Tunnel).
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
